Champs in Sydney

[Scottt]

Could it happen? Would certainly attract a few different faces.

Thoughts?

[Jarro]

No chance

[jaybam]

Why mess with a good thing Scottt?? Weather it was in Sydney or Qld somewhere your still not going to make it are you??

[AndyP]

At this stage, we get maximum numbers playing it in Qld.

[Grunt]

Scottt, we cant get more than 4 to play in a regular ozgolf day.

[Ned]

Conspiracy ?

[Scottt]

Not in the next year, Jaybam, no.

I was just wondering if it could work.

And Grunt, obviously you've forgotten our two-group day at Cabra though that did include Miro and my mate Brad who doesn't post here...

I was just wondering if it would travel well, ie. if those who go would follow it elsewhere and make a weekend away out of it.

[Jarro]

I'd certainly make the effort to travel south for it.

It's the least i could do after all you good folk down south have made the effort to come up here for the past 5 years

As long as we're NOT playing MacGrange though

[Grunt]

We have had a few days before with way more than 4 Scottt, but that was before you joined us

[AndyP]

Is the biggest NSW OZgolf day still from the Newcastle/Magenta Shores weekend when myself and a few of the lads travelled down?

[Scottt]

We have had a few days before with way more than 4 Scottt, but that was before you joined us

That must explain all the bumper midweek games you've been turning people away from since November...

[3oneday]

Nah, washing my hair that day.

[Andrew]

I've never been to the champs, but I would suggest the biggest issue is cost. Up in Queensland you can play a reasonable course, plus a few either side of the main event, & feel as though you got value for money. The cost doesn't take anything away from the enjoyment of spending time with a great bunch.

The few worthwhile venues that could host a weekend event in Sydney would be extremely expensive & probably not offer a lot of freedom.

[Grunt]

Another thing is I doubt we could ever get a game on a Saturday here in Sydney for 30+ players before 2pm.

[Scottt]

Very good points. Accom would be pretty expensive also, I guess.

[henno]

And don't forget the worst thing about having it in Sydney...


... IT'S IN SYDNEY!

[adlo]

And don't forget the worst thing about having it in Sydney...


... IT'S IN SYDNEY!

Good point

[Eag's]

I don't care if we have the Champs on the Moon, I will be there
Seriously though I would not mind at all if we had it somewhere down South, N.S.W or Vic.

[markTHEblake]

Plenty of country tracks between Sydney and Brisbane thats good enough to host an Ozgolf event

[Grunt]

Have to say there are not too many places other than the resort courses that can accommodate us as easily as they do.

[markTHEblake]

If we join in with an existing 36 hole open event, not a problem.

[Bruce]

There is room for 20 at the motel next to the first tee at Mirboo North.

[Courty]

It doesn't matter where we play, kpac can arrange suitable accommodation close by.

[Andrew]

If we join in with an existing 36 hole open event, not a problem.

Newcastle could easily host 18 holes in our Sunday comp, & it would be off the normal tees so there would be no cry babies whinging about 13's.

The Saturday event could be played at Magenta Shores.

The Queenslanders could then drive home having a golfing road trip playing Bonville & Ocean Shores on the way home.

[Grunt]

I like it Andrew, how about a Winter Champs in 2010?
